Former UConn big man Samson Johnson joins the podcast to talk about his transition from Storrs to the G League with the Noblesville Boom.

Samson breaks down the biggest differences between college basketball and the pro game, the toughest part of adjusting to G League life, and what surprised him most about being a professional.

We also dive deep into his UConn days — first impressions of practice, battling elite bigs like Donovan Clingan, Adama Sanogo, and Tarris Reed, and how those matchups helped shape his game. Samson shares his favorite Big East road environment, a game that still stands out, a classic Coach Hurley story, and shares his thoughts on the current Huskies.

UConn Men’s Basketball's Alex Karaban joins the podcast to break down the Huskies’ 19–1 start and 9–0 run in Big East play. We talk expectations vs. reality, how this team has handled closer games, and what’s stood out defensively at the midway point of the season.

Karaban dives into the tough back-and-forth win against Villanova, what clicked after a quiet first half, and how players like Solo, Jaylin, and Jayden are stepping up. He also shares what it takes to win gritty road games at places like Seton Hall, and the difference between blowout wins and grind-it-out victories.

Comedian and actor Steve Rannazzisi joins the podcast ahead of his stand-up shows at Comix Roadhouse at Mohegan Sun (Jan 22–24) for a wide-ranging conversation on comedy, acting, and sports.

Steve breaks down what came first in his career—stand-up or acting, which one’s harder, and how he landed the role of Kevin on The League during its legendary 7-season run. We dive into the casting process, the real-life chemistry of the cast, and whether fans still stop him to yell “Shiva Blast!” or call him Kevin.

He also talks about unforgettable cameos ranging from NFL stars to Meghan Markle, clears up the infamous “disturbance in the kitchen,” on Curb Your Enthusiasm and shares what it’s really like working with Larry David.

To wrap it up, Steve puts on his fan hat and ranks New York sports teams from his own fandom perspective.
